He was very humble.
Went and talked to Robin too and asked if he was ever going to run a Pontiac behind those turbos and he just smiled.
I have no idea what that means .....

Chiefs car as we know out ran everyone that weekend.
All the 481x guys included. All of em. Lutz and Larson had trouble even spooling the air was so bad.
What chief did here at altitude was impressive. I race here and I can tell you first hand Bandamier is a bitch. I cannot even fathom the idea of running turbo at this altitude with the handicap of Pontiac and racing heads up. Honest guys this was a special win for Pontiac.
We all make fun of them(street outlaws) here at the track when we are racing but there is more enthusiasm for our Pontiacs than ever before and I was proud as heck to tell him and everyone mine is powered by Pontiac and he was too.
I can tell you this too. He would have beaten Robin 8 of ten times that weekend. He was noticable faster and more consistent.
The black gto was just that much better. Lizzy and fireball were the only cars that turned in better mph for the weekend. Times were not flashed or announced but they would announce speed sometimes. Lizzy had top speed.

Thank You for your post... I love when Pontiac beat up 481x chevy pile..

Big Chief definitely has his combination figured out and he doesn't stop trying to improve. Making Pontiacs look good for sure

Justin is just a bad dude. A racers racer. And he drives a rod chucker, kicks @ss and takes names.
Glad he is on our side. He really does come off as humble and not full of himself. The expression "Living the Dream" was tailor made for him.

Thanks for sharing that. The tuner is as important, or in some cases more important, than the hardware.

I don't care if he runs A, B, C, D or E heads - so long as he keeps slappin em around like fat ugly girlfriends .

I'm not sure what the problem is, I can see the second page without a problem. I sent a message to the site administrator, hopefully he can figure it out.

[johnta1]

I'm sure I won't see this, but still can't see page 2 of this thread.
I went to Stuart's profile because it showed he responded here.
In his Statistics, I found where he replied and also found that BVZ replied.
Can't see them of course.

Not sure if anyone else replied since 11/17 or so.

Here is what I see when I click on page 2:

After posting the previous Quick Reply (Post Reply gives error also) it came back with Database error also. I don't know if it went but Stuart sees it?

[johnta1]

Well, one good thing with the recent database problem, it fixed this thread!
